For convenience, Jin Li directly called a car to return to the community where the Qian family lived.

When Cheng Si and Jin Li passed by the Qian family's gate, they saw his aunt and uncle coming out of the house with serious expressions. His aunt paused when she saw him and Jin Li together.

Cheng Si looked at his aunt's solemn expression and felt a little uneasy, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Yan just glanced at him hurriedly and said, "Cheng Cheng, go home first. Let's go to the school to look for your cousin."

Cheng Si was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand why they would look for Qian Yu. Before Cheng Si wanted to ask another question, his aunt and uncle had already got into the car, said hello hurriedly and left.

Cheng Si looked at the disappearing car with some worry at this moment. Jin Li sighed helplessly. He couldn't free his hands as he was carrying things at this moment. He looked at Cheng Si and said, "Don't think too much. Let's go home first."

Cheng Si was feeling confused, so the plan to make dumplings that they had agreed on was put on hold. Cheng Si returned to Qian's house and sent a message to Qian Yu to ask about the situation.

There was no reply for a long time, Cheng Si was getting anxious, so he called directly, but it took a long time for the other end to answer.

Cheng Si slowed down his breathing and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, don't worry. Are you at home now?" Qian Yu's voice, transmitted through the electric current, was very calm.

Cheng Si knew that what he said might not be the truth. According to his usual temper, if Cheng Si asked him what was wrong, he would definitely say something hurtful without any discrimination, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

But in this situation, Cheng Si couldn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that he didn't want to say more. "Yes, my aunt and uncle have gone to school. You should be mentally prepared in advance."

Qian Yu said "hmm" lightly and replied, "I know, you should go to bed early when you get home. I'm hanging up." After that, he hung up the phone.

Cheng Si put down his phone and sighed, then sank directly into the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

Jin Li came over from his house and opened the door, seeing Cheng Si like this. He walked over and sat next to him without saying a word.

Cheng Si heard the noise and looked over with surprise on his face, "How did you get in?"

"Your door was not locked, how did I get in?"

After hearing this, Cheng Si was speechless and continued to lie there listlessly.

Jin Li said with a "tsk". "Why are you so listless right now? Your cousin is in trouble and I think you are even more emotionally unstable than him."

Cheng Si glanced at him and said, "My cousin is a good student in both character and study. He has never been called to school by his parents outside of the parent-teacher conference."

Jin Li was not happy to hear this and sneered, "Do you think it's appropriate for you to praise other men in front of your boyfriend?"

Cheng Si rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm serious."

After hearing this, Jin Li said leisurely, "Then I'm going to be serious with you. Because of what you said about making dumplings for you, I ran out to find you without even eating two bites of my meal. Now you're calling me cousin left and right. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Cheng Si was stunned when he heard this and sat up from the sofa, "You haven't had dinner yet?"

Jin Li raised his eyebrows, "You're finally willing to spare some energy for me now?" He began to feel aggrieved as he spoke, "If you don't think of me anymore, I'm going to be the first one to starve to death because of a boyfriend's empty promises."

Cheng Si found his tone inexplicably funny and pursed her lips, "How would I know you didn't eat? You didn't tell me."

Jin Li sneered, "If I really told you, you would complain about me being a liar and pretending to be pitiful."

This all started when Jin Li accidentally saw the notes Cheng Si gave him. This guy has been complaining for a long time and this time he took advantage of the situation to vent his anger.

Cheng Si touched his nose in embarrassment after hearing his true feelings, but now he adjusted his mood and said, "Stop talking. I can make whatever you want to eat for you."

Jin Li stopped when he saw that things were going well. Cheng Si went to the kitchen and looked around. He didn't see anything else, but he did come across some wrapped dumplings. Cheng Si leaned over and asked, "Do you want to boil them or steam them?"

Jin Li walked straight into the kitchen and said, "Just do it as you see fit." Cheng Si ignored him and started boiling water in the pot.

Jin Li did not go out again. He leaned against the door with his hands folded and watched Cheng Si cook, as if he was appreciating some kind of artistic performance. In the end, he concluded, "You really know how to cook."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Si turned around and looked at him, "What you said is very annoying." Just now, this man said that he wanted to eat the dumplings he made.

It turned out that I had doubted his ability to cook, and my guess was right. He was a liar who was full of lies and was good at sweet talk.

Cheng Si worked quickly and soon the dumplings were ready. Jin Li ate all of them. After all the hard work, Jin Li got to eat the dumplings Cheng Si made. But Cheng Si refused to give in and said shamelessly, "This meal doesn't count. You're just offering me something for nothing. You still owe me a meal."

Cheng Si was too lazy to pay attention to him. He asked him to wash the dishes and sat back on the sofa. Jin Li came out of the kitchen and sat next to him. In order to ease the atmosphere, he picked up the remote control next to him and turned on the TV as if he was familiar with it.

Then he patted Cheng Si on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about your brother. He's an adult and can handle his own affairs. Come watch TV with me."

Cheng Si nodded, put aside his worries and started watching TV seriously with Jin Li. After watching for a while, he heard a noise at the door.

Cheng Si felt something and went to open the door. His aunt, uncle and cousin had all come back. The three of them did not look well, and there was an obvious five-finger mark on Qian Yu's face.

Seeing Cheng Si coming to open the door, Yu Yan paused and forced a smile, "Cheng Cheng, you haven't slept yet?"

Cheng Si nodded and asked in confusion, "The wound on my cousin's face..."

Cheng Si was halfway through his speech when he felt the air freeze. He stopped talking. Jin Li happened to come over at this moment and took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, "Good evening, uncle godmother."

Yu Yan adjusted her state and looked at Jin Li with some surprise, "Xiao Jin, why are you here too?"

"Oh, I went back home to get some things, so I came to visit your house. The things my mother asked me to get last time just happened to be delivered here," Jin Li gestured to the table.

Yu Yan smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your help."

"It's not a bother. I'll just deliver the things and I won't bother you anymore." Jin Li knew the atmosphere and it was obviously not convenient for him to stay any longer, so he offered to leave.

Several people fell silent and made way for him. Yu Yan saw him out in silence, while Qian Yu and his uncle walked inside.

Qian Yu sat directly on the sofa and said in a calm tone, "What do you want to say?"

Seeing him like this, Qian's father got angry and glared, "Qian Yu, what's your attitude?" His tone was also very harsh.

Yu Yan just came in from the door and saw the atmosphere between the two. She shouted with a headache, "Alright, stop arguing. It's getting late. Go back to your room and sleep. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything!"

After Yu Yan finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Si who was still standing by the door and said in a gentler tone, "Cheng Cheng, don't stand there. Go to bed quickly. You have classes tomorrow."

Cheng Si also knew that he had no right to interfere in what they were talking about, so he could only nod his head obediently and said, "Okay, auntie, you guys should go to bed early too." After saying that, he went upstairs hesitantly and helplessly.
